THE CROP
Rerie,U of the Situation in the Vinter Hheat
Bell.

bcts
Chicago dispatch: The following crop
summary will be printed in this weeks is
sue OF the Farmers Review: Thus far re-
ports from the winter WHEAT belt indicate
that the crop it emerging from winter in
better shape than last year. The crop
is not assured from resulting damage OF
storms and bad weather, and still has to
pass through a critical period; but as q
whole the outlook must be regarded as
more favorable than at the beginning of
March OF last year. The extremely mild
weather of the opening days OF last week,
followed by the cold weather. caused some
injury in Illinois and III Indiana, and in
LaPorte and Randolph counties OF Indiana,
considerable wheat was frozen and killed.
Twenty-three Illinois counties this week re-
port wheat as looking well, while in Brown,
Johnson and White counties. injury
is reported. Thirteen counties in Indiana
make very favorable returns. In Michigan
and Wisconsin the outlook is reported as
very favorable. Nearly all the Wisconsin
fields had an ample snow covering since
last November. The weather has been I'M
favorable in Ohio, and some injury is re-
ported in Champagne, Seneca and Van
Vert counties, but all the other counties
reporting make favorable returns. The
season is well advanced in Missouri and
spring blowing has commenced. In Bates,
Eenton, Christian and Montgomery coun-
ties oats are already being sown- In Gin
ton, Knox and Livingston counties of
Missouri wheat is reported as looking
poorly, but the other counties reports are
mainly of a favorable tenor. There is no
change in the tenor OF the reports from
Kansas. Fully one-half OF the counties re-
port a very poor outlook for wheat. In
Harper county not more than one-half an
average crop is predicted, while in Clay,
Davis. Mitchell, Reno and Rock counties
the situation is poor and the crop is in a
critical condition.
